So the G8342 is a dual sim.. not sure the benefit but would it be possible to flash the G8341 firmware?
How can we check which firmware we're running?
obviously 47.1.A.2.324 is latest.. but how to know if its UK, customized DE, US, etc. ?

I think you can flash G8341 firmware on G8342 but dual sim functions will not work/disapear. Not 100% sure though
For customization number do the following
Go to dialer and dial *#*#7378423#*#*
Go to service info
Go to software info and look what number is under customization version
Look up the number in xperifirm application or on the xpericheck website https://xpericheck.com/device/G8341
dual sim functions will not work
Hi,

Because single sim OS is just not designed for dual sim..
Hi All. I reflash G8341 to G8342, all working, exclude Dual Sim Mode. After flash I can on VoWiFi mode

I've got a Z5 Compact (E5803). My AT&T SIM works perfectly fine with it. I tried the E5823 Customized UK firmware (1298-5497 - 32.2.A.0.305_R13C) and the fingerprint works but the AT&T SIM does not. If the phone is on and I insert or eject the SIM it registers and reboots the phone. But otherwise it does not see the SIM. It keeps saying insert SIM.
I could try firmware after firmware but I thought it might be faster to ask here. I just want to use it with my AT&T SIM and have fingerprint working.
Maybe one of the other E5803 firmwares? I'm gonna trying Customized GEL until I hear from others..

why would you use a firmware that is for E5823 and put it on E5803?

For fingerprint? I had asked on another post and someone said I could since the hardware for the two is the same. I'm using the Australian firmware for the E5823 and it seems to be working...

Yes, due to legal issues Sony intentionally disabled the fingerprint scanner in the USA firmware version. The fingerprint scanner is physically there though so if you flash another FW it may work. However I am currently having difficulty getting my SIM card to be recognized when I flash to the newest UK version of the E8523

I am getting a E5803, and I live in Australia. Can I easily use Xperifirm and flash the Customized AU on the E5803? I really want the AU baseband/modem.

I also have a US version of the phone (E5803) and also wanted to enable the fingerprint scanner. When I loaded the latest UK version (which is E5823), my SIM (Canadian) was not detected. Bluetooth would also continuously toggle off and on. I'd never tried loading firmware from the other model before, so I just assumed E5803 and E5823 couldn't be mixed. If the AU version works for you, I guess the limitation isn't necessarily the phone model.
Previously I was running Android 6 from the Customized SG (Singapore), and now Android 7 from Customized MY (Malaysia), and both seem to work fine.
The AU version ended up working for me and I haven't looked back since
my e5803 fingerprint scanner works perfect on 7
I have a similar question: just got a Z5c E8523 but using it in the US with AT&T - which firmware should I be using? Customized UK, Customized AUS? Do I still need to flash the MODEM and BASEBAND portions from a US firmware?
Thanks!
If your model number is E5823, the fingerprint sensor should work without any modification. If it is E5803, you'll have to compile or flash a E5823 with any firmware except US. In my personal experience, the AU firmware typically receives firmware updates the fastest.

Okay, so I can't get it to work. I spent all morning trying to get Flashtool to work.
I am trying to flash E5823_32.2.A.5.11_Australia_Generic on my E5803. Each time I get a ERROR - Can't read a byte value.
I initially tried the latest version of Flashtool 0.9.23.2. Then I tried 0.9.18.6 where bricked the device. I then tried 0.9.22.2. Still no luck. I had to re-flash the Customized US version that came with the phone (E5803_32.2.A.5.11_1298-3109).
Should I try flashing the Customized UK version first then try the AU version? Very annoying tbh
Wow, got there in the end (only took me half the day).
After the successful flash of E5803_32.2.A.5.11_1298-3109 after bricking the phone, I tried to flash Customized AU 32.3.A.0.376 / R2D . That one also bricked the phone due to the old version of Flashtool I was using (0.9.22.2). I then tried to flash E5823_32.2.A.5.11_Australia_Generic which now worked.
The main reason I wanted the AU version was for the Baseband... Turns out it was the same lol
you should be able to keep the same modem settings, and the phone should be able to switch configurations when it detects the appropriate bands... provided your carrier is operating at those frequencies.

Don't you have to do something like make the phone think it's a E5823 in build prop first?
Hi there, I recently bought an Z5C (E5803) that was on android 6.1 marshmallow and was Customized Movistar EC, wich is one of my country´s carrier, so 7.0 OTA is long long wait to come.
Long story sort, I used Xperifirm and got 32.3.A.0.376 Customized US for the E5803, flashed and the fingerprint sensor was gone. So I read a little and find out that in US there is no Fingerprint suport for del Z5C.
Then I flashed 32.3.A.0.376 Customized GEL for E5803 and bingo!! Fingerprint sensor worked again.
I don´t think you have to change the firmware for another model for the fingerprint sensor to work.
Hope this help.
I have bought a Huawei P20 Lite in a Vodafone shop. This phone only works with one sim....
If i unlock the bootloader and update with the rom ANE-LX1 8.0.0.126(C432) DualSim, will the dual sim work?
Thanks you

Could you please share with more detail instruction about it ?
You need to flash a new oeminfo for the right region, I went for c432 dual SIM which is pretty much all you need to do to enable the second sim. Then you need to flash the correct firmware for that region. I then updated the firmware via firmware finder, but hrupdater it probably an easier way of doing it. And that was pretty much it. I used hwota8 to flash the correct oeminfo and the rest as described above.

Hi pls upload the oeminfo for the c432 dual sim .
Thanks in advance.
If you download hwota8 in the roms section, it's in that software. Just unzip it and you will see the oeminfo file. That's the one I used.

You have to flash oeminfo from dual sim and then flash full firmware.
Flash only firmware from dual sim your device stay a single sim.
I checked mine in the other way around, I flashed single sim firmware in my dual sim device and it stays a dual sim.
Can anyone post a step-by-step tutorial?

Be aware that the IMEI from second SIM will be null.
You can find the C432 dual SIM oeminfo in the HwOTA8 for Huawei P20 Lite https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/development/hwota8-huawei-p20-lite-t3787787

One SIM - 2G/3G/4G
The other SIM - only 2G
No, they don't work as Dual SIM active, they work as Dual Stand-by, when one SIM is making or receiving a call the other SIM would be ignored.
Hello,
i have p20lite single sim C432 Italian.
Can i transform in dual sim?
Hi,
I have a P20 lite from Orange orignaly ANE-LX1 8.0.0.149(C109).
Only one SIM is available.
So, in the objective to get dual SIM phone, I did :
1. Unlock BL
2. Flash dual sim oeminfo C432 using HWOTA
3. Flash ANE-LX1C432B172 (8.0.0.172) : update, update-data-full and ANE-L21_hw_eu
Result is :
- 2 IMEI, second is null
- Both SIM are detected and connected to the network
- Only first SIM can make/received call/SMS
- It works better when I switch data 3g/4g on second SIM - at least for few minutes I can call from both SIM
If I compare with my old P9 lite, fully fonctional dual sim, I see only one IMEI.
Well, any idea for next step? @kilroystyx @DANIELWHITT maybe?
Thanks.
I tried to search for the topic but couldn't get a definite answer - is it possible to flash the G8341 firmware onto a G8342 device? I expect the SIM2 function would disappear but I do not use it. Will the SD slot still be readable, and are there any other lost functions?
I am on trip to Hong Kong and here the only variant they sell is the dual-sim G8342 and I will be flashing the single-sim UK EE firmware. I am weighing up options to see if it is worth buying.
I have flashed older devices many times FYI. Cheers!
Or, is it possible to extract the OEM.sin from EE G8341 firmware, and flash onto the customised HK G8342 firmware? Would I get OTA from EE in the future?
Anyone tried flash BC52 model with BC72 firmware? i would want to flash SEA firmware on my BC52 model, is it possible without root just use new flasher.
i wouldn't.but i basically been flashing diff from from hk,sea,,ru and china. their all the same but china is more light as in you can by default remap the assistant button and also data un-enrypt is friendly
当然，XQ-BC72 Dual 可以刷入 XQ-BC62 Dual 或 XQ-BC52 Dual，但我无法反过来测试。
Of course, XQ-BC72 Dual can either be flashed into XQ-BC62 Dual or XQ-BC52 Dual, but I can’t test the other way around.
Un-encrypt is the first thing good from china XD

Hi. I tried. I lost network. My phone find the sim card,but no signal
I tried to flash Sony Xperia 1 SOV40 into J8110 Global Rom, but does not have voLTE available for Malaysia
Someone told that can mix SEA version sin with Global Version sin, i have tried to move the modem.sin (All three from J9110 SEA version) into the J8110 but still not working
seeking for any advice to make voLTE work
Thanks and appreciated
You can try Customized JP OEMs.
Don't need to do the modems Just flash the OEMs only.
It will definitely work.
I have J91110 and it worked for me.
If you already have the files than thats fine.
If NOT you start it with the XperiFIrm and start download. When it says downloading 3 of 3 then stop downloading.
Open Flashtool and Use Files Decrypt to extract the OEMs.
Just flash anything with the name OEM using newflasher.

Malaysian here, which global ROM your guy using? I try all j8110 ROM + OEM still can't get the volte
Interesting, I've tried flashing OEM files from customized JP/SEA/UK into my J8110 variant, but still can't get VOLTE working, I tried flashing JP oem files, all it gave me is a corrupted bootloader, (I figured it may have been caused by flashing 3 different firmwares onto my device) , My last option is to factory reset it.
Thanks for this, I have an Xperia 1 AU KDDI Japan SOV40 flashed with J8110 UK Firmware, and flashed Customized Japan OEM for volte, now volte working, by the way I'm from the Philippines and I use DITO Telecommunity SIM which they don't have 2G and 3G Networks, only 4G and 5G that's why to use calls you need VOLTE Enabled on your device.

Where did you get OEM from? Still try a solution how to make it work but still haven't found any better steps to do since I'm afraid of bootloop or something else.
Now I see that 5G are officially announced before, a lot of telcos had to discontinued 2G and 3G networks. 2G network in Malaysia will stop working soon. Not sure when it is.

I just installed Customized JP OEM by following on the first page's instruction before I formatted my phone. But nothing changed. After that, I tried formatting my phone without flashing oem but the result shows nothing about VoLTE. So, I just keep using it without VoLTE function because I don't wanna take a risk to install it again due to afraid of having a bootloop if I feel hesitated to make it work.
But, I will try to find another way to fix that problem soon if I got one.
I recently buy Xperia 1 SOV40 single sim. Seller say that Umobile and YES doesn't work in this model. I try insert Umobile sim and can be use to call and internet. I not sure about VoLTE. Do I need to flash any firmware to make sure Umobile get VoLTE? Or SOV40 not support Umobile VoLTE frequency?
Please help me with Volte,
Really need it
